Excellent, excellent,excellent! And may I add, if you get frustrated just walk away for a little while. When you get back to it, it will make more sense and usually go right back together.
Kalle, what can I say that has not already been said? The logical explanations of the movement, wheels, pivots…I felt myself relax and get excited about working on movements. One of the most effective videos I’ve seen of yours. I owe you a coffee when I come visit The Netherlands!
That's still an issue for me too sometimes, but have you seen Kalle's video about screws? It helped out a lot. Edit: it's called "The Most Common Mistake in Watch Making" and is the fourth video in the "Watchmaking Tutorials for Beginners" playlist.
@SlickWillyTFCF Yes, I saw that. However, Kalle explains which screw secures what, whether it clamps or centers. I’m having issues with the length of the screws.
@@MagWatchTime that's how I've dealt with it as well. The screws go with the associated parts in the divided tray. If i have to ill wash them together in batches too. I'm not yet to the point where I can put them all together and be confident I have the right one when the time comes.
“There’s no shame in fishing.” 😂 (Until I saw this, I was like… let me check the fishing report. :) Now, I’m in control. Great visual mnemonic! Thank you
Excellent video! That said, Kalle has something that we beginners lack. Decades of experience. How to pick up, place, and remove/install tiny screws without them flying off into unfindable oblivion on the floor. How to not damage the hairspring. Ask me how I know! Which screws go into which holes. Assembly order of the many parts. How to get the right amount and type of lubricant into which bearing. How to clean the parts... All this can be learned with careful persistence and patience.
Can listen to this great teacher all day drinking my coffee, and dreaming of the day i get skills and understand enough to open one of my watches and try it out. got the tools and im ready to go to work but still a bit overwhelmed😅 This is so helpful
Kalle, one of the best videos you have done. Great teacher! Now, can you do something like this for the complications 😊😊😊 Don't speak Dutch, but--- jij bent echt de max!
You are a true teacher! This is the absolute best watch making video I have seen to date! I have procured some basic tools and have a small collection of derelict watch movements to work on. I really can't thank you enough for your great teaching 🤟
I have always focused on teaching the conceptual basis of all topics before filling in the details. That is also the way I learn best, so it is such a joy to see a watchmaker follow the same approach. After taking apart a Roamer 521 ( whilst watching your video) I was wondering if I could determine how to correctly put it together without having a clear understanding of the underlying conceptual basis of mechanical movements. Many thanks Kalle...😊
Thank you! Makes much more sense now. Started and stopped out of in trepidation. Even as my watches are not worth much. Still wanted to not screw it up.
Great video Kalle. Love how you make everything simple and instill confidence in us! Heard back from Richemont regarding Watchmaking school here in the US. I have a video interview with the instructors first week of December. Now its a race between Rolex and Richemont!! Exciting time to be in professional Horology!!❤
Excellent tips, thank you! I just managed to put together a dirty non runner Seiko 7005 back to life today and it made me super happy. My first ever! Well, I snapped the second reduction wheel screw head for the auto works after that so now I have to figure this one out, but damn I'm ready for more action! Thank you for putting your videos out. Great source of knowledge.
… and taking notes and pics during disassembly removes a lot of questions. I think the real challenge is to track what screw goes where. And the keyless works and springs. There’s some trial and error. And only one arrangement works. Never force fit reassembly. But I’m no expert Very nice vid.
Thanks Kalle. It’s the movement I’m learning on. I love your explanation and how it goes my thing is confidence. So when replacing the balance making the corrections for instance end shake or the depth of the palletts effecting the amplitude so one thing putting it together another thing regulating it so it keeps time 😊 I’m only 10 weeks in but still nervous!! Your video has helped me a lot.
I found that really useful, as I still have to think about where wheels go sometimes, your so right we are in control learn the basics and understand the workings of a watch . Screws have caused me problems in the past.
Very good introduction for beginner watchmakers. I think many found it very abstract when it is not. In basic it is not complicated but it there is no end how much you can expand this hobby or profession. That makes it so great. More short teasers for newcomers is excellent👍👍
Its unbelievable that in these days came out such a video. So many you tube channels and videos and thats the first one I see making assembly of the watch much easier. Looking forward for the dial side intermediate wheels of winding pinion to time setting. Are there some rules and differences in upside down positions of these wheels?
Hey congratulations on 40k subscribers feel like you deserve more what about a wrist check in your videos and a watch give a way just something old and good but not to expensive just a thought. Andy UK.
Thank you sir, never thought of looking at the assembly this way. Now it is child's play as you said. Wonder if there is also such a logic that applies to the screws. I get them mixed up once in a while if I don't organised the screws accordingly.
This was great and just on time for my learning curve. Just one question, is there also some general rules which way the wheels go e.g. the pallet wheel? Pinion above or pinion below the wheel?
Thanks for this tutorial. I have one question though.. You dont seem to be bothered about keeping the screws in any order. Is it that the same size screws are used thought the movement as a general rule ?
It takes a genius to explain something in such simple terms. I'm really looking forward to the book when it's finished.
That's the first time I've seen anybody explain the pivot differences. Excellent!
One of the top three videos you’ve done, kalle. Bravo. Well done. 👍
You are really good teacher. I love the way You talk us through the process. 👍
Many thanks Kalle. One of your best pedagogic videos !
As someone who will retire in the next few years and be an amateur watch maker, this video is invaluable! Thank you sir!
It was like a lightbulb going off in my head. I'll never look at a movement the same way again!
Our watchmaker has become irresistible! He’s jollier, wiser and wittier than ever! He teaches me and puts a smile on my face! Thanks!😊
Excellent, excellent,excellent! And may I add, if you get frustrated just walk away for a little while. When you get back to it, it will make more sense and usually go right back together.

So glad to hear and we’ll have that coffee!!
Thanks Kalle. So grateful of the way you demystify and foster learning. You’re a fine fella!
Thank you, Kalle. For me, the hardest part right now is figuring out the screws, especially when they look the same but are of different lengths.
That's still an issue for me too sometimes, but have you seen Kalle's video about screws? It helped out a lot.
Edit: it's called "The Most Common Mistake in Watch Making" and is the fourth video in the "Watchmaking Tutorials for Beginners" playlist.
@@SlickWillyTFCFscrews for me to , I always place them with the part they come from bridge ect…

Omg. I just said the same thing about the screws! I should’ve read comments before hand
You just turned on the light bulb in my brain. Thank you for making things so simple.
Excellent video Kalle, simply excellent - you are not only a great watchmaker but also a passionate and great teacher! Thanks!
“There’s no shame in fishing.” 😂 (Until I saw this, I was like… let me check the fishing report. :) Now, I’m in control. Great visual mnemonic! Thank you
Always start with what you know! Brilliantly stated.
Best watchmaking video I've seen in 4+ years of the hobby. Thank you very much. This information will stick with me always!
Wow, thanks!
I’ve watched a thousand watch videos and have not seen an explanation like yours. It’s great. I’m going to check what else you have. THANK YOU B
That mantra will stick forever!

Thanks Kalle, this is the type of information that gives those of us that are a little scared some confidence to get started.

What a great way of using process of elimination to un-jumble a pile of parts!

Hi Kalle! This is the most easy description of a basic mechanical movement. Simple and efective for beginners. Thak you
Simplicity: A fundamental system's principle. Thank you for your clear and intuitive insight.
Thanks for sharing!
I feel better about myself after having watched this !
Wow. This is the most valuable video about this topic I have ever seen. By far! Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
This is just about the best Vidio I've seen on rebuilding a movement. Excellent work, my friend. Thank you very much.
Amazing how something that intimidated me so much has been explained so clearly!
You’re a good man Charlie Brown
Thank you! Makes much more sense now. Started and stopped out of in trepidation. Even as my watches are not worth much. Still wanted to not screw it up.
You’re amazing. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you! That was so helpful. Now I think I have enough info to have a go at fixing my Grandfathers old pocket watch. Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
Kalle makes everything look so easy he even enjoys working on Rover’s
Very informative, been putting off taking apart my first practice movement, but now I think I'm ready!
Great video Kalle. Love how you make everything simple and instill confidence in us!
Heard back from Richemont regarding Watchmaking school here in the US. I have a video interview with the instructors first week of December. Now its a race between Rolex and Richemont!! Exciting time to be in professional Horology!!❤
Wonderful! I enjoyed the explanation about the decreasing diameters of the pivots 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
A very informative video among so many others. Thank-you for so much you do for watch-lovers around the world. Proost!
So nice of you
Excellent tips, thank you!

Right time to find a mechanical watch I don’t need-get some tools and watch Kalle
Kalle you are a truly inspirational-Thank you❤

Very nice vid.
Trinocular microscope with a camera is a complete game changer and well worth the outlay if you are serious about the hobby
Yes good explanation.
I struggle sometimes with screws and small plates and levers, not knowing where they belong. So I do photos...
Really super content. Many thanks indeed my friend.
Wish old film cameras had the same consistency!!
Thanks for the excellent tips Kalle.

Thank you for illuminating us with your vast knowledge, understanding, and sense of humor.

Excellent way to look at it... Keep em coming!
Thanks, will do!
That was a great explanation that really helped it click for me.
Always wondered how you guys remembered how it went back together, outstanding video, thanks!
Nice useful and practice video! Thank you!
Appreciate you for this!

Amazing video. This is what I was waiting for.
Glad you liked it!
@@ChronoglideWatchmaking Do you have a video with advice about cleaning a movement without the machines?
Hallo Kalle, ganz erstaunlich. Danke für dieses sehr interessante Video. 😊
vissen al geprobeerd lol! low torque high speed en high speed low torque ... super uitleg bedankt kalle!
Thanks Kalle

Enjoyed the video very much.
Helpful and well taught.

I hope this is what you are looking for: th-cam.com/video/J_zl5oxVoro/w-d-xo.html
@ already watched this one, but it does help, thanks again!!!
Love your pedagogy style, good use of one of the best (easy and cheap) movements to begin the watch making journey.
That was super instructive, thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great sound level today 👌
Very helpful and informative Kalle my friend 😁👍👍 thank you
Would you be willing to do a series of videos on the service and workings on the Bulova tuning fork movements?
Thx!!!!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Hlo sir,
Very helpful video. Thank you so much
Most welcome
I enjoyed the video very much but at the end I thought you were going to start to put things together to show how they go.
Thank you sir, never thought of looking at the assembly this way. Now it is child's play as you said. Wonder if there is also such a logic that applies to the screws. I get them mixed up once in a while if I don't organised the screws accordingly.

I know I would really benefit from a tutorial about all watch screws - how to make sense of all the screws in a movement.
Is this what you are looking for? th-cam.com/video/J_zl5oxVoro/w-d-xo.html

Great advice, thank you...
great vid kalle cheers
Dit had je allereerste video ooit moeten zijn, nu zie ik het pas. 😊🙈
like ıt very much main plate 3 dots line thing in the pocket ty.😀😀😀
Christmas is getting closer. Are you doing another book update soon? 😊
that was great thank you. What about the screws, How are they sorted for use?

That’s it, because it is soooooo boring to watch once you see this logic.
